A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

  7. No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

Hey folks,
I'm using since years subsonic to stream music to my mobile device. Subsonic and it's known alternatives like Airsonic aren't really mainained though and some existing bugs are frustrating. Can you recommend me a good alternative to stream my own music collection to my mobile device?

Ok so I just installed Navidrome and the web UI looks modern and promising. However it seems to have the same bug as other services I tried earlier: If the artist name or album name has any umlaut letters (like ä, ö, ü) then all tracks on that album are displayed twice on my mobile client (have tried substreamer, ultrasonic, tempus). Any idea what's causing that for me?

I'm using Navidrome with Ultrasonic and Tempo on my phone, and have no such issue.

If you use Tempo I'd recommend switching to Tempus, a fork that is actively maintained. Tempo has been unmaintained for a few months now.

Thank you, already did so, when I've skimmed this thread earlier. Tempo was my second choice so far, Ultrasonic has worked better with my OS and headphones so far (usability-wise). Will see how Tempus works out.
